Tasmanian Devils Have Terrible Disease, Huge Balls

From Wikipedia:

“As of 2005, the Tasmanian Devil population has been reduced by up to 80% in parts of Tasmania by the devil facial tumour disease, which is gradually spreading throughout the island. It is believed the majority starved when the tumours spread to their mouths, and that the tumours are spread by fighting between devils over carcasses they feed on – typically, fighting devils will bite one another’s faces. There is no known cure for the disease, and intensive research is underway to determine its cause.”

Let’s hope that the Tasmanian Devil community has it’s best doctors working on that as-yet-unknown cure to Devil Facial Tumor Disease, the most badass-named thing ever.

Interestingly enough, the above-quoted Wikipedia entry for the Tasmanian Devil includes pictures of several fictitious Tasmanian Devils, but not The Tasmanian Devil.
